    Hi, I'm Susanna. I figured I'd best introduce myself as I joined MOC 6. I'm a long time shopper and gallery lurker but have never posted in the forums. Just getting back into scrapping after moving and adjusting to retirement. I know, you'd think I'd have tons of time on my hands but you'd be amazed at how quickly your time gets eaten up when everyone around perceives that you have all this free time. So when I received the email announcing MOC 6 I decided it was just the thing to get me motivated and carve a little more time out of my week for me.
    :yesss

    Been a big fan of the designers who contribute to the shop and am looking forward to becoming more active in the forum and community. Seems like a great place to be.

    So glad you de-lurked so we could properly welcome you! I'm technically a SAHM that completely understands what you mean by 'free time? what free time?" Glad that email motivated you and you can share your creations with us! If you need anything, just holler (or type ;) ) Welcome to the Forums, Susanna!

    Welcome! We have a couple other retirees around who say the same thing! Free time disappears quickly. I hope you are able to carve out some time for yourself this month. Thanks for delurking! Off to check out your gallery.

    Welcome Susanna!! You are going to love it here as well as loving the MOC! I too am retired (5 years now) and I also enjoy free time! Thankfully I do not have alot of outside influence puling at me so I can do what I want when, as it is only me and hubby. I love it here at the pad and the community is fabulous!! Welcome and I cannot wait to see your pages!

    Welcome Susanna! You’re right that MOC is a great time to establish new scrapping habits. It did for me!

    Welcome to the Pad (at least the forum, LOL). I agree that time is like space... we fill as much as we have, right? Only, unlike space, we all have the same amount to fill. Yep, I'm such a philosopher today.

    Looking forward to getting to know you more.
